Today 12 GoodGymers ran or cycled to support conservation work at Mousehold Heath.

We met Will at St James Hill on Britannia Road, an area of natural habitat for a rich variety of wildlife including Common Whitethroat - the only place in Norwich this species can be found.

We went to an overgrown area that had grown so high it obscured one of the finest views in the city.

Armed with loppers and saws, we spent an hour cutting everything back and carrying the long branches to a clearing below. It was amazing to see the results after we finished! Now anyone wanting to sit on the bench could see right across the entire city.

Shout Out to Alice who attended her first session.

High Five's for Eloise who completed her 50th Good Deed!

Tonight 16 GoodGymers ran or cycled to support East Anglia Children's Hospice in Plumstead Road.

We had extra lights and visibility while running to the task, as we were supporting This Girl Can's campaign #LetsLiftTheCurfew to raise awareness of womens safety exercising outdoors in the darker months.

At the store we were given plenty of tasks, cleaning shelves, taking down window displays, sorting out books / furniture and breaking down boxes. It was also a chance to hunt for some bargains when sorting through donations!

Hi Five to Maddy for reaching her 100th Good Deed!! In her words she 'joined GoodGym so she didn't have to run in the dark in winter on her own' - and that is why we are here!

Thanks everyone for making this community a safe and supportive place for all.

Tonight 6 GoodGymer's ran to St Catherine's Church to help prepare their wild meadow.

It was the first time we have visited and Jan the task leader was delighted when she heard what GoodGym can do.

Armed with rakes we helped clear the area of dead grass, and exposed the soil in order to scatter wild flower seeds which were provided by MX Green Hearts - a movement set up to improve green spaces in the Mile Cross Estate.

After 45mins so many bags of grass had been collected we had filled the boot of Jan's car! So with the light fading we lined up for a group photo beside the words 'You Are Loved'.

There's a lot to love about GoodGym!

9 GoodGymer's turned out for a great morning at Mousehold Heath.

Cutting back Common Gorse, which is an invasive species and has been strangling the heather that grows on the heath. The Heather is a great pollinator and is essential to bees and insects thriving.

The team removed lots of Gorse, with the aid of Will’s big protective gloves and long reaching loppers. After it was removed it was laid on drag mats and taken to a big hole not far away where it can mulch down.

Everyone was in great spirits and could see a massive impact for the hours work that it took of lopping and dragging.

We will be back again in a few weeks for another task in Mousehold.
